Detecting coming out of Standby

[DaveG]

Is there anyway for Xlobby to detect when the PC comes out of Standby (S3)? I usually leave it in Standby for a quick startup where Xlobby left off, but when it comes back up I want to display an overlay screen containing a few options for a few seconds which then automatically closes itself.

I've tried creating an event that is triggered just before the system shuts down that Shows the overlay, waits x seconds, and then Closes the overlay so that most of the timeout takes place once the system starts up again. This kind of works, provided the length of time the system is off the air is less than the timeout!, otherwise it closes the overlay as soon as it comes back to life. The timer Wait command must be working on absolute times rather than elapsed time. So to do this properly I need to be able to detect when Xlobby or the PC comes out of S3. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

I would suggest sending an event from Girder to xlobby. Girder can detect a resume with the OnResumeStandby/OnResumeSuspend commands.
